CALIFORNIANS... Why Wait? Jim Gray Knows What's Up!

"The underlying theme of this campaign is how big a govern- ment do you want?" he said. "Every president in my lifetime has left office with a larger federal government than when he went in. It cannot continue to grow, and there are a number of areas of expanded government, like the war on drugs and the Patriot Act, where both parties are reducing our civil lib- erties without making us more secure." [...] "A vote for me is a vote for getting the federal government out of marijuana prohibition," he said, reprising his campaign stance. "It is a vote against the Patriot Act and a vote for making sure we declare war before we go to war." [...] "It's a real catch-22," said Gray Wednesday as he motored between campaign stops in Northern California. "The polls don't include my name because the major newspapers don't cover my campaign, but the newspapers say they'll cover me when I climb in the polls. Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters says I couldn't be in the debate because I lacked poll standing, but it was the debate that would have increased my standing. The system is geared so that third party candidacies are almost doomed to fail; it becomes a self-fulfilling pro- phecy by the media, the pollsters, and the gatekeepers," he told DRCNet. [...] Despite the difficulties, Judge Gray isn't going away. "I am running to win," he said. "I know that is unlikely, but I do have a better than zero chance of winning." Still, he conceded that this race wasn't really about Senator Jim Gray. "If I can make a strong showing, Republicans and Democrats alike will see my votes as a winning margin in future race," he said. "I assure you, they will want those votes, but they will have to change their policies to get them. If they do that, I will have won. We are going to make a strong showing," he predicted. This candidate is one solid motherfucker and deserves as much exposure as he can get. Get Involved and Throw Down a Vote for Judge Jim Gray come election day!

Glad to hear it! Orange County Superior Court Judge Jim Gray is taking the two major parties to task for their lock-step perpetuation of the failed drug war and other bipartisan abuses of governmental power.
[...]
Gray won't win, of course, though he is qualified and we'd be pleased to have him as a member of the Senate. Rather, a vote for Gray is a powerful way to force the two major parties to acknowledge where they've gone wrong.
